No. 24 Mizzou basketball threatens comeback but loses again to Ole Miss

Missouri men's basketball has played an up-tempo style much of this season, where it hasn't been tough to score in the high 70s.

Points were at a premium Tuesday night against Mississippi.

Missouri trailed by double digits midway through the second half, but fought back against the Rebels to tie the game on several occasions.

The Tigers could never roll past Ole Miss, however, as the Rebels finished the game on a 10-3 run to defeat Missouri 60-53 at Mizzou Arena.

Missouri falls to 14-7 overall and 7-7 in the Southeastern Conference by losing its fourth game in its past five, all against competition that was unranked at the time.
